Default Anyone got flow #'s on a LS1 intake manifold?

I found a guy that can work my stock 98 heads to get 285 to 295cfm out of them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

How much does the stock intake flow on 98 cars? I wanna know if gettin larger valves is gonna help or if I should wait til I get a LS6 manifold before I upgrade to bigger valves. I only have enuff money for one or the other. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I wanna be able to use most of the 224/561 cam I got now and run mid to low 11's at 3400 lbs. Mods are in the sig.

Thanks, Stu

Stu, i see 40cfm drop with LS1 intake bolted in place on ported head. LS6 intake recovers about half of that flow loss.IMHO LS6 intake with stock valve size would make the most power if forced to compromise. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
